Kumbhalgarh - How to Reach(North of Udaipur,East of Jodhpur)

By Air
Nearest airport Udaipur (84 kilometers), and Jodhpur (102 kilometers). Follow the directions 'By Road' after reaching Udaipur/Jodhpur.

By Rail

Phalna is the nearest junction through which trains from Mumbai. Ahmedabad, Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Ajmer pass. I recommend coming to Udaipur or Jodhpur first and then drive a 4 wheeler or 2 wheeler from these cities to Kumbhalgarh fort.

By Road

Many Rajasthan Roadways passenger and deluxe buses pass through Kumbhalgarh from Ajmer, Pushkar, Udaipur, and Jodhpur. If you are driving yourself, following directions may come handy:

From Udaipur: Kumbhalgarh sanctuary is located on Udaipur - Ranakpur highway. Ranakpur is one of Jain religions 'teerth' and even if you do not follow Jainism, its a temple worth a visit. You will be pleasantly amazed looking at the sculpting, carving with magnificent details on white marble. These carvings cover every inch of the temple, from pillars, to walls to corridors to ceiling. When you start from Udaipur, you want to drive to North -West of Udaipur to get to Kumbhalgarh. If you are staying in city then major landmarks you would pass through are chetak circle, sukhadia circle and fatehpura. You want to drive towards a place called 'iswal'. Iswal is about 11 kms from Udaipur. On Iswal make a right turn toward Kumbhalgarh sanctuary. Follow the directions on the road. Please do note, road is not good all the way and be careful of stray buffalos, cattle and other domestic foul on the road. In my experience, never once these animals heed to your vehicle horn so do not count on honking in the hope animals will give you way, you would definitely want to slow down and given them way or run a risk of running your vehicle in them which may not only ruin the fun of the trip but also attract some crowd from nearby villages harassing you for your careless driving, you may also be asked to provide 'compensation' the the cattle owner. Hey, don't forget to take a stop at so many en route sugar cane fields and munch on them, IT IS FUN!! Once you are in Kumbhalgarh, do not forget to visit Parshuram temple which is another 30 minutes drive from Kumbhalgarh fort, its a true test of your leg muscles, a small cave in which temple is located is serene, you may want to close your eyes and imagine how this place would have been thousands of years ago when Parshuram used to meditate in that place!
